Adding a shortcut for a commentary set

I wanted to add a shortcut to the bar for Expositor's Bible Commentary Set. Is there a way to do that? Normally, it would just put one volume up.

    You're right ... you just drag the tab of the open commentary to the top bar (among several ways). I just tried it.

    Why would you want to open the entire commentary set at one time?

    If you have one volume of the Expositor's set up and you want to jump to another volume that covers a different book just input the scripture reference you want in reference box and it should shift to the right volume in the set.

    If I have a passage open and click the Bible Knowledge Commentary shortcut, it opens to the appropriate commentary selection. I want to do the same with EBC. I suppose the same would be for someone with another set.

    If I use the Bible Knowledge Commentary on the shortcut bar, if I am in a passage in the bible and I click the shortcut, it opens to the passage I'm in.  Great, that's what I want.

    But if I try the same thing with the Word Biblical Commentary, it just opens whichever volume I used originally (in this case Galatians) and then if I want to take it to the currently active Bible passage, I have to type the passage in the search bar of the WBC.  Is there a way to make the WBC work easily like the Bible Knowledge Commentary does?  And if not, is there another commentary that works to go right to the open passage like the Bible Knowledge Commentary does?

    Thanks-

    After thinking about this, it would probably do as well to open BKC or JFB by shortcut and use the open parallel resource pulldown to get to whatever commentary I want. It's the second step I wanted to avoid. Logos is starting to make me spoiled....
